Like an 8GB local LLM? Surely that’s what you mean. 100watts an hour sure beats $20 a night.

THAT’S MY CHICKEN WING I DONT KNOW YOU

Used to be Manjaro, because it’s got sane opinions and I’m not looking to make maintaining that machine a new hobby. I don’t mind the curated “almost” rolling release, but they’re getting worse about simple things (like maintaining their own certs) and I’ve decided to move on.

quee is the most adorable choice, and thus the correct choice

I’d want the whole thing, but I’ll settle for “This place is not a place of honor”

That’s like saying heat exists everywhere in the solar system. Yes, it’s true, but it paints a mildly inaccurate picture.

picard, his face palmed.

ok, but how do they know which accounts those are?

Exactly. Hate bluesky for letting them post the inevitable insane shit they’re going to post, not for verifying they’re who they say they are.

What’s the alternative? They have admins ban any and all accounts that might be made by ice or ice personnel? Refusing to validate them doesn’t take them off the platform. They’d still be there, you just wouldn’t know who they were. In fact you still don’t, they could very well have puppet accounts all across blue sky, Lemmy, and all of your favorite instances.

At the very least when this account starts to post insane shit, you’ll know it’s actually them and not some edge lord cosplayer pretending to be ice. A verified account removes the plausible deniability aspect of anonymous posting.

And I’m not being argumentative, I’m asking a genuine question. This is the Gestapo wearing a uniform. If anything, they’re stupid for asking for verification. This is them wearing ICE jackets to the grocery store.

The real test will be how bluesky treats the content this verified account posts. When (and let’s be real, it’ll be when, not if) bluesky refuses to censor this account, then they’ll have proven themselves complicit.

OpenAI all of a sudden

I’ve told recruiters that if they don’t allow remote work then they can fly me out for an interview if they want more than a phone call.

Adding a binary package host allows Portage to install cryptographically signed, compiled packages. In many cases, adding a binary package host will greatly decrease the mean time to package installation and adds much benefit when running Gentoo on older, slower, or low power systems.

I… can’t tell if you’re pulling this right out of your ass but I know if I Google it, either way, I’m going to be disappointed.

it does, if you can afford the RGB ram.

I have a cat obsessed with stealing my coffee. He succeeds a few times a week and he’s still alive, so probably ok?

I tried Mint this weekend. Steam was broken out of the box, when it works flawlessly on Ubuntu and Manjaro on the same hardware.
